Re: FTP against slide

[Var George]

Requirement is to support regular ftp so serving current version for 
ftp 'get' is sufficient. Similarly ftp 'put' revising the last version 
is ok. I guess similar to WeDAV Server we need to write an FTP Server 
with Slide APIs. There are commercial solution such as Oracle Files / 
Oracle 9iFS that supports multiple protocols such as WebDAV, FTP, SMB, 
NFS, AFP etc. For commercial deployments where bulk file transfers etc. 
are important, FTP is is a convenient protocol that's required.

I was wondering if any such additional protocol support is planned for 
Slide? Also whether anyone in the community is working on FTP protocol 
support or has it as a requirement?

Sounds like a bit of a hack on top of a webdav server... AFAIK ftp

support things like versions/locking/transactions/workspaces/acl and

webdav features. The best you could do would be to offer the current
versions of files the user may read, but even then you would have 
issues to
solve like concurrent writes from ftp and webdav.

Quoting Var George :

Are there any plans to support FTP against  slide in addition to 
WebDAV?
Has anyone done any work in this area ?
